    Wow, Kuroda as well. Good night for Cashman.

    Well, the rotation doesn't seem like that much of a problem now.

    This is going take me some time to figure out. Pineda is a stud. Young with a 1.1 whip, that doesn't come around often. Sad to see my boy go. We never got to know him.


    stud? who is he

    after all these years this goes down??

    i don't know who this pitcher is but he better be the 2nd coming of christ

    You haven't heard of him? He was an All-Star last season.

    He has #1 starter potential. I don't know if he's going to pan out exactly that way, but as long as he's solid it should be fine with the lineup he's got behind him.

    they just traded this kid for who???

    after all the hype and pitchers e didn'ttrade for?

    He's supposed to be a future top notch starter potential. People were saying they might get rid of Felix because Pineda would replace him.

    From Twitter:
    Michael Pineda held right-handed hitters to a .184 opponents batting average last season, best in MLB.

    They wanted Nova but settled on Noesi.

    At 22 he had a 1.1 whip, that's pretty fucking good.

    I think this was a waste. Just my opinion. AJ is going to be the majors highest paid mop up man.

    No risk in a 1 year deal, ds. They know what their budget is, obviously not going to stop them from future moves since it's one year.

    Early verdict is the yanks won the trade. Everyone here knows how much i liked montero, definitely very sad to see him go, but this is the kind of trade he can be given up in, a trade for a good very young pitcher they will have under control for 5 years.

    And now it opens up for the signing of Pujols (too late) or Prince to fill the 1b/3b/dh rotation. :D

    Now they need a dh and have way too many pitchers.

    This team just got a lot fucking better next year.

    #2 or 3 SP > great dh


    Even > when you already have dh position spoken for over the next 7 or so years.

    Phenomenal trade. I do not care if Montero turns into David Ortiz

    Yankees have had one of the best offenses. They lose because they lack pitching.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Money to burn i guess. Nothing wrong with spending money on one year deals. Tonights developments are much more preferable to a 4 year deal for Jackson.

    I love Montero, but I think this is a good deal. Also kinda like the Kuroda deal. He's ok, not great, but can be a very serviceable # 4 or 5. They def. had a need in the rotation. I like the 1 year part of kuroda the most. They're serious about getting under 189 million in the next few years. if they do, when they inevitably go back over the "Cap" the tax is @ 14%, not 45-50 it would be if they fail to get under for just 1 season

    They also didn't hit last postseason. Montero only played 1 playoff game and did well. If he had played all 5 games and did just as well and the yanks advanced. Would this trade go down?
